Kelly's Favorite Family Spaghetti Sauce

Kelly's Favorite Family Spaghetti Sauce
This is a recipe that has been modified from several other recipes for a Marinara type of spaghetti sauce. This has no meat and is lighter and has such a nice tomato taste. Very easy to prepare and quite yummy! This is a family favorite in our house.

* 2 Tbs Olive Oil
* 1 tsp minced garlic
* 1 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes with puree
* 2 Tbs dried parsley
* 1 tsp dried basil
* 1/2 tsp dried oregano
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp black pepper
* 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes (we use more to make a spicier sauce)

Heat olive oil and saute garlic, be careful not to brown the garlic. Add can of tomatoes and then the spices, stir well and let simmer for 15 minutes, then serve over pasta.

We use this sauce for almost anything that requires a tomato sauce. Lasanga, stuffed shells, baked ziti, etc.

This is cheaper than jar sauce and almost as easy and fast. The ingredients are things I always have on hand.
